Oh my gosh, I am so amazed that one of my December photos (above and from this post) won THIRD PLACE in the “Does My Blog Look Good In This 2006 #1″ blog event. Andrew and company ran this months contest over at Spittoon Extra. I thank him and all of the judges for their kind words and considered criticism.
I completely agree with their decisions regarding 1st and 2nd!
In first place was Mahanandi with a dreamy shot of an indian food called Murukulu. It sort of looks like super skinny churros, would love to try them one day!
In second place was Fred Kitchen with a soothing and attractive shot of something called “Compote de Noël”.
The DMBLGIT 2006 #1 team also chose several category winners, as follows:
Winner in Edibility - Culinary Fool
Joint Winners in Aesthetics (3)
Beyond Salmon
Belly Timber
Lucillian Delights
Winner in Originality - The Laughing Gastronome
Thanks again to the judges for their work on this!
Make sure to enter your best January photo at the DMBLGIT 2006 #2 site! LoveSicily is up on deck for the next contest!
” by David Joachim and Andrew Schloss right now and I have to say I am LOVING this book. Will post review soon!

Ilva: aww thanks, congrats to you too! Yours are amazing.. I am completely drawn in by your Pistoria pic.. amazing depth and so exotic.. I look out and see just trees, better than a strip mall for sure but Italy is such a feast for the eyes.

Congrats Nika. I thought your’s was going to win the first place. Really just spectacular to look at and very colorful.
I think Andrew miscalculated the votes.

Indira: no way! I think it came out right
I have to try those things you made in that photo. I do not live near any good Indian food snack shops (did in Atlanta, the good old days) so I dont see it happening soon :-<
